Kentucky singer, songwriter and poet, Grace Rogers, comes from a family of old time, traditional and string band musicians. Her great grandpa Charlie Rogers played guitar in the Kentucky String Ticklers, recorded on the Gennett Record Label in Richmond Indiana during the Great Depression. Grace, herself, has been playing solo shows and traditional music for around ten years. But on “Mad Dogs” her debut studio album, defying Pete Seeger and his vengeful axe, Rogers has ventured beyond the music she cut her teeth on. Armed with a mid-metal Ibanez S Classic electric guitar that her musician father bought for her on Facebook Marketplace and plugged straight into an amp with no pedals (cause she doesn’t have any), Rogers throws down with the help of a group of skillful, kind-hearted musician friends: Ian Gordon (Grandma’s Boys, Couch Cadet, Family Curse) on electric guitar, Chris Cupp (Ellie Ruth, Restless Leg String Band) on bass and cello, and Fiona Palensky (Eric Slick, Lindsay Lou, Turbonut) on drums and vocal harmonies.
